On studying the theme clue right here I used to be excited for a posh Strands puzzle that required out-of-the-box considering. What may ‘S-words? (a cutting-edge theme!)’ imply? Did all the solutions start with S… however the S was lacking? Have been all of them phrases the place a synonym for them started with S? One thing much more fiendish? However no, they have been all simply sorts of swords. Disgrace.
That grew to become apparent as quickly as I discovered CLAYMORE, off the again of recognizing CLAY after which realizing that I may prolong it. After that it was a easy case of looking my mind, and the board, for different BLADES (because the spangram would have it), which was not a very taxing activity.
